Restricted access for to ftp user

Hi,

I would like to restrict a ftp user
access to the Unix Machine.

when a user ftp to a unix machine, I
want the user to able to upload files
to a few given directories and no
access to other directories.

What can be done to perform the above
task?

Could you advise? Thanks.

Chan,

wu-ftpd offers good security than the default ftp supplied with HP OS. Check this site for more details

http://www.wu-ftpd.org/

Particularly HOWTO guides.. Good information there.

Chan,

If you're running HPUX 11.0, a version of wu-ftp is shipped with the OS. Check the ftpd and ftpaccess manpages for more information on how to set up the ftpd with chrooted homes.

Hope this helps.
